Unleash devastating abilities as you command and train. Your decisions will control the outcome of each mission, your relationships with your crew and ultimately the entire war.
An amazing universe to explore. From the massive Citadel to the harsh, radioactive landscape of the Krogan home world – the incredible breadth of the Mass Effect universe will blow you away. Travel to the farthest outposts aboard the SSV Normandy, the most technologically advanced ship in the galaxy. You'll follow the clues left by ancient civilizations, discover hidden bases with fantastic new tech and lead your hand-picked crew into explosive alien battles.

Sun-Tzu's advice remains as pertinent in 2183 as it is today – know your enemy. You'll need different tactics for a squad of enemies with devastating biotic attacks than a heavily armored Geth Colossus so choose your teams wisely.Show more

The perfect beginning of the Mass Effect series and my favourite game from this legendary action RPG franchise. Amazing cinematic story-telling that stands well on its own and as a prologue to a wider story. A perfect blend of RPG mechanics and third person shooting. Lots of choices and consequences that can be imported into the sequels. While the same import feature is not unique, nobody pulled it off as well as the mass Effect trilogy did!
PS. Mako is the best vehicle. I don't care what anyone else says. I've had tons of fun goofing around with it!
I don't even know where to start with Mass Effect. It is my all time favourite game. Even now I can slip back into it like my favourite pair of jeans. I've played through form start to finish over 30 times (not one of them with a renegade spin) but the best moment - no matter how many times I've done it - is letting the fifth fleet through the relay to save the council. The gravitas of that moment is just something else.
For those that forget and those that never experienced it, what an incredible feeling to boot up and begin playing this game. You totally believed you had stepped into this huge new universe. It felt so large in its scale and ambition. Sure, by today's standards, many of the games locations, mechanics or interactions will seem dated or quaint but it is certainly one of my all time top gaming memories when you first see and board the Normandy. The music that plays in the citadel is also burned into my brain.
The Mass Effect Series (1,2 and 3 not legendary) is the best space game series ever created in my opinion. I loved these games and still play them every few years. Get the whole collection with ALL the DLC's and I will buy them!
I liked the weapon-cooldown combat system a lot more than the ammo-based one in the sequels. Being an ammo hoarder I avoided any shooting builds in all sequels (Andromeda too)
Just loved the whole trilogy, how choices from each part influence the story and characters' developments in later parts.
I made three or four separate playthroughs of the whole trilogy for every romance combination I liked.
The game mechanic bonuses from playing through with different classes made replays more fun.
Luckily some people uploaded all the elevator and vehicle talk combinations to youtube =)
Final Fantasy VIIIFinal Fantasy VIII is the eighth main installment in the Final Fantasy series. The gameplay makes a departure from many series standards. While it still uses the Active Time Battle system, it deviates from the series' traditional means of boosting a character's power via leveling, although levels are not completely abandoned as they were in Final Fantasy II. In addition, it does not have a Magic Point-based system for spell-casting. Instead, magic is collected, drawn, and created from items, and is used to power up the characters via the junction system.Open world Fantasy Science fiction
